I don't have time to watch what I assume is a video you linked. Maybe later.

But free will is not, I think, freedom of choice. A child born in Mogadishu has the same free will that an American billionaire has -- but the gap in freedom of choice is apparent. I think that making the argument that because we are bound by gravity, or by the consequences of our actions, we don't have free will -- that's semantic silliness. I may not be giving your idea due diligence; if not, I apologize, feel free to correct me.
